«Quel petit vélo à guidon chromé au fond de la cour ?» is the short novel by Georges Perec, published by Gallimard Education in paperback (in French).
Georges Perec's work is an ironic and digressive narrative: during the Algerian War, a group of young people tries to save a soldier who asks for clemency. The book combines comparisons with epic and classical heroes, along with humorous asides including a recipe for rice with olives.
The work was originally published in 1966; this French edition corresponds to number 1413 of the Folio collection.
For readers of French literature and short ironic tales; also for those wanting an early sample of Georges Perec's narrative.
Georges Perec was a French novelist, filmmaker, documentalist, and essayist. He was a member of the Oulipo group. His father died as a soldier early in the Second World War and his mother was killed in the Holocaust. Many of his works deal with absence, loss, and identity, often through word play.
